Man accused of rushing cockpit, attacking flight attendant on flight from Boston to San Juan


A man aboard a JetBlue flight traveling from Boston to San Juan, Puerto Rico, was arrested this week after he allegedly attacked a flight attendant while attempting to storm the cockpit of the plane.

Khalil El Dahr was ultimately restrained by six or seven members of the flight crew and taken into custody when the plane landed, according to an FBI affidavit.

Six or seven members of the flight crew used makeshift restraints, including uniform ties, four seat belt extenders, and flex cuffs, to hold El Dahr, keeping him in the back of the plane until the flight landed in Puerto Rico where he was taken into custody, according to the investigators.

El Dahr is charged with interference with flight crew members and attendants.
